Utilizes 1988-1996 American National Election Studies (ANES) data & the 1997 ANES Pilot Study to show that voters have begun to orient their political attitudes & behaviors according to their feelings toward Christian fundamentalists. This is particularly the case with antifundamentalists, roughly 20% of the white nonfundamentalist public who, significantly more so than other nonfundamentalists, intensely dislike fundamentalists & perceive members of this religious group as militantly intolerant, ideologically extreme, inegalitarian with respect to women's rights, & monolithically Republican. These associations coincided with a marked shift in the proportion of antifundamentalists who became concerned about cultural & religious issues in national political life. Multivariate analyses show that feelings toward Christian fundamentalists are now a significant predictor of relative party assessments, adverse to the Republican Party. Moreover, logistic regression analyses demonstrate that antipathy toward Christian fundamentalists has become a significant explanatory variable of vote choice in recent presidential elections. Antifundamentalism today has joined ideology as a predictor of presidential vote choice, & its impact surpasses the effects of traditional economic variables, such as attitudes toward government activism & retrospective assessments of the economy. Findings lend support to contentions that the 1992 presidential election quickened or heightened cultural & religious forces that to this day structure attitudes toward the two major parties. The data attest to the power of negative religious outgroup affect in shaping political perceptions, attitudes, & behavior during periods of cultural ferment. 6 Tables, 1 Figure, 3 Appendixes, 103 References.

In Christianity, Otherization and Contemporary Politics, Roberto E. Alejandro argues that the identity politics of the American far-left follow an identity paradigm established by early Christian thinkers, and warns that such politics may incline towards the same violence Christianity succumbed to once imbued with political power.
